window shading?

I'd like to be able to "shade" my windows like in Linux and Mac OS, is there a program that I can use to do this in XP?

You could apply a background picture that is a gradient.

Hi,
If you mean can you roll up your windows when you are not using them so that only the title bar is visible, as in Linux (windowshade mode), Windows XP does not natively let you do that. But you could use a theme manager like WindowBlinds to make it so that you can.

Yes, I do mean roll up my windows.

Also I could not find anything that would do it for WindowBlinds. Any other suggestions?
